Stay with me! Stoic, Kane. I'm not dying. Not yet. They're trying to flank us! Down! Down! I'm almost out! Kane! What? Ammo! Right. Here. Where's the exit? We came from... that way, right? Can't... can't tell anymore. Eddie! Yeah, uh... That way. Straight through the shooter. That sounds like a bad idea. We need to keep moving. Eddie, that way. Ready? Ready. Okay, go! Shit. Shit! The dead end! Perfect. All right, Eddie, take cover behind that arch. Okay. You good to shoot? Good enough. Here's your sidearm. Get ready. They're coming. Quiet! Quiet! Do you hear that? What the fuck? Freeze! Don't you fucking move! Hurry, get down here. He'll kill you. Oh my god. Silas! Sai! Maxi? How you doing there, Maxie? Yeah, bleeding. Bleeding. What else is new? Jesus, Sai. What happened to you? I'll tell you everything when we get there. What if they follow us down here? They won't. How do you know? These tunnels are a maze. One wrong turn and you're lost forever. They won't risk it. Don't worry. I know my way around. You okay? Huh? Oh. Yeah. Yeah. You sure? You kind of froze up back there. I know. I know. I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. You were pretty effective with that gun earlier. Oh, thanks. Valentine's been giving me lessons. Just the basics. I might drop in on a few lessons, too. I'm pretty rusty. Clearly. You did fine. We wouldn't have made it out without working together. Here. This one. Cain, help me get Max up here. I can make it. You sure? Yep. Okay, that's enough. Let us help you. Maxwell? Maxwell. Alright. Okay. You win. Ready, Cain? Ready. Okay. Max, you're bigger than before. Welcome to me home away from home. Very nice. Very, uh, survivalist. Zach, come here, let me look at you. Maxie, you look like hammered shit. You okay? I'm fine, really. You're the one who got shot. You should worry about yourself. I have something of a med kit. Let me check that wound. Hey, uh... I missed you I missed I missed you too All of you Yeah, it's... good to see you alive, Silas. How long has it been? Almost a year. Only a year? Why the fuck didn't you tell me where you were going? I'm sorry. This operation, the clearance, I couldn't tell anyone. If I did, and they found out, they... No, it's okay. I'm just... I'm sorry it took so long. You are the last person that needs to apologize. He never gave up on you, Silas. Ah, yes. That's the tenacity I love so much. But perhaps it would have been for the best if he had given up. And what's that supposed to mean? It means you shouldn't have got yourself trapped here just for me. We're not trapped. Lucas and Eli are keeping the corridor open on the other side. Yeah, we just need to get through the shooter. That's... Okay, good. That's good. So... You've been living down here this whole time? I didn't have a choice. Any who fell behind were left behind. The curtain prioritizes tech and research above MREs and basic supplies. Anything we could have used to open the way back was taken or destroyed. So, we had enough to make do. We? There's more of you? There were. And then the occasional civilian would wander in, become stranded with the rest of us. What about the shooter? I don't know. We didn't get a chance to speak to him. He opened fire as soon as he saw us. Same here. They didn't really seem interested in talking things out. And now I'm all that's left. I'm sorry, Silas. What about the resident? The... the what? You know, the entity the recon team encountered? How do you know about that? We accessed the research logs back at the campsite. I see. I've seen it at a distance. Mostly, I just hear it. They've been avoiding everyone since the firefight. And I think there's more than one. Sometimes it's like their chanting comes from every direction. Are you okay? I'm fine. We need to focus on getting out of here. Yeah, no, no argument. You have weapons? No. The shooter's been occupying the camp. That's where we had stockpiled the guns. Eddie, Kane, ammo check? Just half a mag. That's the one I gave you, so I'm out. I have my .357. 24 shots total, 6 in the chamber, 18 reserve. It'll have to do, then. The corridor is close to camp. You think we can make our way around the shooter? Unlikely. Now that they know you're here, they'll be on high alert. Can we just wait it out, maybe? Maybe if we give it enough time, they'll relax a bit and it'll give us a better opportunity to sneak through? Max needs medical attention. We can't wait. Right. Right. Sorry. Sound is the enemy in here. Any noise will travel. Ready to move? All right. I've got you, Max. I'm fine. I'm fine. No, you're not. Let him help you. Everyone ready? Yeah. Let's go. I'm keeping my gun. Sure, Max. No problem. Almost there. Stay close. Corridor is behind the archway. Maybe 200 meters. Remember the tripwires? We don't know how this twitchy little fuck is going to try to ghost us. Contact. Hold fire! What the hell? Is that... the inhabitant? Put your guns down! Sai, get back! No! It's not hostile. It won't hurt us. But... it's an aberration. We can't just let it stay loose like this. It's not loose. This is its home. It won't follow us. Just leave it alone. See? It's trying to communicate. It wants us to... No! Freeze! Chadwick? Hedy? What the fuck are you all doing here? We're here looking for you. Weapons down. Now. What? Chadwick, what the fuck? That's the last warning shot you get. Drop him. Do it! Okay, okay. I dropping Kick it to me Don play games Max I know you have it Fuck Slowly. How long? How long what? How long have you been in here? I... shit, I don't know. An hour? You shouldn't be here. You shot it? You're... you're a monster. No, that thing I just shot is a monster. Max, step away from Silas. Fuck you, why? Because he's fucking compromised, that's why. Do we even know what happened here? Yes, we do. We found the logs. Then you know why I'm doing this. So what, you're tying loose ends? When did you become a fucking curtain lapdog? That's... That's not what this is The fuck it's not Max, stop! Chadwick Please You've been through a lot But we're here to rescue you To bring you back Just shut up, King Please He's telling the truth The corridor is open You can come home with us Not with him Last chance, Max Move away from Silas. You'll have to shoot me too. Hedy, don't make me do this. Me too. God damn it! Don't you get it? He's compromised! You're the one threatening to kill everyone. I'm telling you, you haven't seen... No, we haven't seen everything. But we're not letting you gun down a member of the team. What game are you playing, Kane? Enough! No! Stop! Stop! Fuck. Fuck. Nice try, Gain. Now it's your turn to tell them what- Fuck. Fuck. Max? Max? Max, stop. He's dead. Sai. Sai, where are you? Sai, talk to me. He got me good, Maxie. But I'll be fine. Are they dead? Yeah, I got him. No, not him. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it looks dead. Okay. We need to get him to Riley. Kane, help Si, please. I can walk. All right. I'm gonna help you out. Ready? Wait. What? Chadwick. We can't just leave him here. We don't... We don't have time for that. Silas needs help. We'll come back for him, okay? I promise. Okay. Take his CRT. It might help us understand what happened. Unless you have an objection, Kane. Uh, no. No objection. Got it. Corridor's that way. Let's get the fuck out of here. New directives have come down from the curtain. This operation is terminated. Effective immediately. You are to carry all equipment and research materials to the exit. You will then report the processing for further instructions. And if you want to know what failure to comply looks like, there's a perfect example on the floor. Eli, it's them. Are you sure? Positive. Those are the two that were... that were after Jordan. Before the crash. Well, it's safe to say they work for the Curtain, but I don't recognize them. Max did. Just said they were bad news. I'll ask him about it later. Man, what did Jordan get himself into? I guess I need to stay off the Curtain's radar until we can figure that out. Speaking of, did you alert them to pick up the gear? The QRS and everything? Yeah. Curtain's been notified. They should be here to pick up all the gear this week. You think they suspect anything? It's hard to say for sure, but we were quick with the turnaround, so I doubt it. Okay. Good. Alright. Now get into character. How's he doing, Doc? Well, good news is it's clean through and through. Bad news is he'll be out of commission for a while. Oh, thanks, Riley. Now I won't say no to a break. It's good to have you back, Silas. I missed you terribly, you know. We all did. Yeah, it's been really rough without you. Oh, it's been rough without you all. Trust me. So does this mean you're back back? Shit for brains, the curtain burned him, remember? Take it easy, Max. I'm sorry. So, what are you going to do? Not sure. I've got a lot of thinking to do. Well, we've got your back. We didn't go through all this just to get you in trouble with the curtain. It wouldn't be the worst time to consider early retirement. Easier said than done with this employer. We all knew the risks. We'll figure it out. You just focus on recovery. What are we going to do about Chadwick Well if we file a casualty report we Indite ourselves. I'll, uh... I'll see about leaving his body somewhere to be found. Least we can do is give his family some closure, I guess. You're injured, Max. I've got it. Let me handle it. Valentine will be coming back soon. She'll help me. Alright, fine. All right, everyone out. Skedaddle. The patient needs rest. Take it easy, Silas. Bye, all. Sleep tight. I'll, uh... I'll see you later. You know where to find me. I do now. So, are they together? Did you just figure that out? Kane, could you stay back for a minute? Me? No, the other Kane. Yeah, sorry. Uh, what's up? Why the change of heart? Huh? I, uh, don't know what you mean. Mm-hmm. Hand me my pack, would you? Sure. Here we are. I pulled this from Chadwick CRT. Listen. We received the report from Agent Montgomery. Things seem to be unraveling quickly. I'd say that's a fair assessment. What is your recommendation, Agent Kane? Immediate lockdown of the expedition. That's a rather extreme measure, don't you think? Given the clear signs of cognitive tampering, I'd consider lockdown a perfectly reasonable measure. These effects are likely caused either by the residing aberration or the quantum anomaly itself. Continued exposure poses an unacceptable risk to operational security. At this point, we have to consider any related staff as compromised assets. Very well. I will notify Cross and Victor to recover research materials and essential staff. Montgomery will be a problem. In what way? He won't cooperate with leaving staff behind. I guarantee he'll jeopardize date of recovery. Cross and Victor need to be ready to handle him. I'll advise them to consider Agent Montgomery as non-essential. He'll be left behind with the rest of his team. How do you expect your unit will handle this decision? There won't be a problem. They don't even know about the case. I'll report him missing and that will be that. I've also consulted Agent Chadwick. He'll be on standby to sterilize the site once we're ready to revisit their operation. One of the passages into the Quantum Pocket is located at the Westlake office complex near my unit station. He won't need to travel far to access the anomaly. Thank you, Agent Kane. Your assistance in this matter is... appreciated. Happy to be of service, Control. I don't know what that is. I didn't... I never... What are you going to do? Nothing. Nothing? Of course, I'm taking necessary precautions. I'm sure you understand. Actually, I don't. I mean, my continued well-being is in your best interest. We wouldn't want the rest of the team to know about this, would we? I don't understand where I went wrong with you. First you tell Control to lock me up, then you send Chadwick to kill me, and then you step between us to save me. How am I supposed to make sense of all this, Cain? Did you want to be in charge that badly? I don't need to explain myself I have my reasons That's okay I wouldn't have believed you anyway I'm sure I can count on you to continue hiding my return from control And the curtain Because if this gets out to the team Well, you saw what Max did to Chadwick Of course That's all. I should really get some rest. Right. Goodnight. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Thank you for listening to another episode of Redacted. Starring Jamie Petronis as Jacob Kane. Athan as Eli Reyes.
